Do you have one? I was thinking about getting one to touch up work chains faster than throwing the saw in a vise.....

That makes sense, but if you look at stangs picks he is putting force away from the stop and the tooth he is filling is out side of the clamps?
Let me know when your ready to fix mine. Anything new on a "gen II" block, improvements I'm assuming?
Yes, you would typically want the chain stopper at either the front of the depth gauge, or the rear of the tooth (chain flipped around from the pics I posted) then the clamps would be on the tooth that you are filing. It holds it very stout. You still have to file from the outside towars the inside. Like I said earlier, those pics were taken from my photobucket that I posted the last time someone started a square filing thread.
I'll try to get some better pics later this weekend, I am out of town for work now.
I have one of the 1st ones sent from Sweden by Goran before they were for sale here. IMO you still would want to mount in a vise.
I have 3 different size rollers they produced but they dont sale for some reason over here. You only get 1 here I think.
You can use a 6 sided bevel file with them with good results. Another friend that stops in uses the 6 sided only and gets way better results then I have so far (in our last test session).
I've just lost interest in this stuff and went back to all round.
A good square grind on a chain and it will be noticeably faster than your best round chain.
